Theodore J. Kaczynski - a.k.a 'The Unabomber' - is notoriously famed as the mastermind behind one of the longest and most publicised terror campaigns in US history. Between 1978 and 1995, he sent 16 bombs to targets including universities, airlines and The New York Times, killing three people and injuring 23. The ideas expressed by Kaczynski before and after his capture raise crucial issues concerning the evolution and future of society. For the first time, the reader will have access to an uncensored personal account of his anti-technology philosophy.
"What the Unabomber did was reprehensible. And he was wrong: Killing people to bring attention to his ideas ended up making most people lock up his ideas, along with him. They became unmentionable, for politically correct folks. Well, I would rather be correct, than politically correct. And it is time for people to read "Industrial Society and its Future", by convicted serial killer Ted Kaczynski. His work, despite his deeds, deserves a place alongside Brave New World,by Aldous Huxley, and 1984by George Orwell." --Dr. Keith Ablow, Fox News
